Another iNtresting Neighbor


When you approach this corner you not really sure what you’re looking at. Could be a corner grocery store, a bar, maybe even a spa? I have no idea what this building started out as but it is now part of what appears to be a very colorful family compound.

Seen from across the street the size and complexity of the compound can be more easily assessed. Four or five separate buildings spread over more than a quarter acre with a little park across the street. All amply landscaped and each structure painted a different but no less brilliant color.

 
….and here we see the entrance to the main “courtyard” around the corner.

I have no idea who lives here but they have to be very interesting and “colorful” people.

The first & last picture was shot with the Promaster 35mm using Portra 400 film and the 28mm lens set at f8 and 1/500. 

The second was shot using the Nikon P-300 on auto (ISO 160, f4 @ 1/800). 

The quality is not that great because they were “drive by” shots and the sun was not where I would have liked it to be for the best lighting but sometimes you just have to take what you can get.
